Good Thursday afternoon gang. I wanted to drop by for a quick update on what is looking more and more like a soggy and cool Friday for much of the state. Moisture from what is left of Tropical Storm Hermine will work eastward across western Kentucky tonight and then impact much of the state Friday.
Here is a look at the rains moving in from the west…
The heaviest rains will fall across the west with lighter amounts the farther east you go in Kentucky. You can see what I am talking about here with the latest GFS run…
This system has been an overachiever in terms of rainfall to our west and can dump some locally heavy rains… especially west. Temps Friday will be chilly for much of central and western Kentucky as readings may not get out of the low and mid 60s. Here is a look at the GFS high temps for Friday…
That is pretty cool to see. Showers and thunderstorms would then continue into Saturday and Saturday night ahead of a cold front pushing in from the west. This is likely to impact tailgating and maybe even the Kentucky football game at Commonwealth Stadium Saturday evening.
I will have more updates as needed so check back. Take care.
I’ve been praying for tropical system remnants for 8 weeks. We might FINALLY see our first heavy rain since early July in Lawrenceburg! Keeping my fingers crossed…
WKU game looks sloppy for sure, but those are the fun ones to watch, if you have the best seat in the house (the couch at home). 🙂
Hooray! Finally some much needed rain…
ME TOO!!!!!!!
Here’s what my fear is. The regular typical “line” that is drawn where you go from NOTHING to inches of rain….I hope that line isn’t 20 miles south of here or something.
Looks like the dry air is busting everyone’s forecast. Almost everything is verga with W. KY only racking up totals of a tenth of an inch or less. If we’re suppose to get less than the west then I guess it is just going to be a cloudy, dry day in the bluegrass.
